Does paying statement earlier make any difference?

79 Posts

Instead of waiting until the end of the month to pay the credit card statement off in full what would happen if i paid it earlier than the due date.
Would this make any difference on credit files, Does the credit file record a payment made before the due date?
I heard a rumour that paying earlier improves credit rating by recording a zero balance when the statement arrives and does not list payments made before the due date however I'm not sure that this is true based on the source of the Information.
Can anyone confirm?

It would look very weird. I'm not sure it's particularly useful.
